Thermal Analysis Laboratory

SIMULTANEOUS THERMOGRAVIMETRIC ANALYZER AND DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETER (SDT)

The temperature-dependent mass change (TGA) and heat exchange (DSC) of the sample are simultaneously measured.

Analyzes: Glass transition temperature, melting and boiling point of the reaction and heat of fusion energy, oxidative stability , specific heat capacity, OIT ( Oxidation Induction Times) 

 

DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYSIS (DMA) 

It is used to determine the viscoelastic properties of a gel, solid polymer or composite sample by measuring the change in temperature, tension, strain and strength .
